Stretching a tight foreskin
The vast majority of tight foreskins can be suitably loosened within a month or so by careful stretching twice daily. Use baby oil, Vaseline intensive care hand and body lotion, Nivea or any bland cream as a lubricant. Pull the foreskin forward away from the body several times then pull it back as far as it will comfortably go and hold it in this stretched position for several minutes. When the gap becomes large enough insert your thumb, or smaller finger if necessary, into the foreskin and grip the glans (the head of the penis) between finger and thumb. Roll the foreskin over the thumb until the tight ring is white with stretching. Hold it in this position as long as you can at a time - say 5 minutes. Repeat as often as you have the time and enthusiasm for. If later you find there is room for two or more fingers then use them. It may also help if you soak your penis in warm water for some minutes before you start to stretch.

I had same problem at 16 , doctor told me to pull back foreskin over head (as much as I could) every time I went for a pee and anytime I could. (You're alone a lot every 24 hours) I did that and it worked. Give it a few weeks, it will work. If you still decide to go ahead with circumcision don't go to poland for it- it's cheap, but it's a RIP OFF!

First you should really speak with a doctor to determine if anything can be done by the tight foreskin. Second, circumcision is surgery so it is performed by a urological surgeon.

Gently! Make sure you don't hurt yourself though. If you experience pain, there may be something more seriously wrong.
Circumcision is optional now - no longer is it thought to be cleaner or better to be cut. You don't likly need one to be performed.
You should not need to get cut unless there is a medical reason why your foreskin is tight. You can go to your local Doctor but there is a charge unless there is a medical reason to be treated.

Seems that you have phimosis, wich is efectively cured with circumcision, and by no other way.
Foreskin streaching or creams are not really useful and do not work in all cases.
Even if it works, the phimosis will come back after some time (personal experience)
The best, definitive and most sensible solution is circumcision.
Now some info on circumcision, keep reading...
CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis or herpes.
Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infections. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.
About STD's:
As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision
As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html
About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:
NO medical or physiological study has ever shown that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm
Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.
Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Sounds like you need to work on stretching your foreskin so you can pull it back and forth easily. If you cannot work on stretching it go see your regular doc and he can help your work this out. No you most likely don't need circumcision but if you can't work this out yourself get your docs input on this. P.S. Don't be shy he has seen it all and heard it all before and helping people is what he went to school for.

Well, I am a female and if I had a problem I would go to a gynecologist. I don't know if males have the equivalent of that type of doctor, but I would think so. I would call one of them if I were you.

Why don't you make an appointment with a physician. You don't want any backdoor circumcision.

you need to see a doctor for referral to a hospital.
don't try to cut it yourself, it would bleed profusely and be extremely painful.
